Rated 5 out of 5 by Tahoe It works!
This heated mat allows us a good space on the back patio to get the snow blower started. It keeps the snow from piling up against the doors. It really works.

We bought this for my in-laws for Christmas. I think it was a great investment! They are thrilled with it. High quality, easy to put in. Great service when I called for questions!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanessasgram FREEZING rain is no big deal anymore!
We have a ramp that we use all the time to get to driveway from our porch and the steeper part is always a "fear" for me of slipping!
We got these mats and they are easy to lay down and easy to plug in.
Consumer's Reports says they are very cheap to run don't consume much electricity!
They keep our ramp completely free of any freezing rain, ice or snow.
It's a win win deal except we do feel the price of product is high side!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Artguy118 Worth every dollar I paid.
I have several sets of outdoor stairs which always get very icy in the winter. Since one set of stairs is made of limestone slabs I did not want to use salt or chip the ice away. These stair treads served my purpose. The steps are always clean with no ice or show build up. It just takes one misstep on ice and you can end up hospitalized with serious injuries. Since I am over 70 I could not take the chance of slipping. The heated stair treads were worth every dollar I paid. I have since ordered a second set for my other staircase.

Answer:

I do not know what a starter kit is, but I ordered the set of 3 treads and the large mat for my porch also. My size was 10 x 48 on the treads. No need for anything else. They are very heavy. No need to tack them down.

Thank you for your question. We do not offer a “starter kit” for the Electric Heated Stair Treads as the treads and mat are sold separately. You will also need to purchase a control unit (374409) and may need additional cable extenders to configure your mats correctly. If you need additional help please contact a product specialist at 1-800-642-2112.
